So, I now own ripper's avatar until either:

Australia regain the Ashes

Australia go ahead of England in the ICC Test Rankings

Australia beat England in the World Cup Final (I have ripper's avatar for 6 months if Australia eliminate England in an earlier round)

I will pick your avatar in the morning. First thing, celebrate this win. Second thing, find myself a decent avatar.

Only a bunch of convicts having been beaten 3-0 and gone 9 tests without a win and won just 1 in 11 against England could go into the home series saying they will win. England will win in Australia again this winter as they are a better side which they have shown this summer. 3-0 doesn't lie girls.

Everyone loves em and all Aussies love stealing em from the English. (yep we are still thieves before any of you poms jump on that)

Calling out GIMH to accept the challenge. 2 months (will consider an alternative amount if you wish)

In the spirit of the 5 test series, it'll be 5 legged with 1 point awarded for each leg, in the event of a tie, both will select each others Avatar.
I win if:
1. Australia win the Ashes
2. An Australian Bowler takes most wickets in series
3. An Australian Batsman scores most runs in series
4. Australia Wins more coin tosses
5. Australia concede the least amount of sundries (including wides, no balls, leg byes, byes)

Gimh wins if:
I win if:
1. England win/retain the Ashes
2. An English Bowler takes most wickets in series
3. An English Batsman scores most runs in series (tempted to make it english born and bred tbh)
4. England win more coin tosses
5. England concede the least amount of sundries (including wides, no balls, leg byes, byes)

Let the fun begin!

Not 100% on the last 2, reckon if I'd taken that bet it would have been 5-0 me.
